I know TOAPLAN made some great shmups!
HELLFIRE..one of my all time faves!
ZERO WING..also a great one!
When I was looking on E-bay I found OUTZONE? I must say I never played it. is it any good?? and are there some more shumps from TOAPLAN worth buying??

This is one of Toaplan's greatest in my opinion.
I had one and I sold it to pay for my car insurance. I miss it!!

Hell yeah!
Get Batsugun. You can't go wrong. It's also ported really nicely on Saturn (including the Batsugun Special Version).
Or Fix Eight, the sequel to Outzone.
Dogyuun and VV are great too.
Then of course there's all the old school classics: Kyuukyoku Tiger, Tatsujin 1&2, Flying Shark, Daisenpuu, et al

Toaplan must-haves, on the preferred (best port) platform:

Toaplan has a great library. I wonder if Cave would've turned into what it did had Toaplan not gone uner.

IMO, Toaplan is best at vert scroll Shmups,
I think there best are...
Batsugun
Flying Shark
Fire Shark
V-V
These are the people who later form the core of Cave, 8ing/Raizing & Takumi.
BTW, I got a Daisenpuu PCB for sale. PM me your offer if you are interested.

i only have fire shark at the mo but i am definately looking to buy some more megadrive ports if i see them cheap, and when i'm better off financially, i think batsugan and a saturn will be a special purchase.
